Waste Management, Inc. (WM) closed at $235.64 on October 28, 2026, a decline of 2.27% over the prior 24 hours. The daily pullback came as the waste and environmental services giant continued to trade near elevated levels following a sustained period of strength.
Over the past seven days, shares have gained 1.66%, reflecting a relatively stable short-term trend. The broader 30-day picture is more striking, with WM posting a 13.93% advance over that period, one of the more notable moves in the large-cap industrials space recently.
The company's market capitalization stood at $96.34 billion as of the close, underscoring its position as one of the largest firms in the waste management sector. Tuesday's session dip did not materially alter the stock's longer-term trajectory based on the available data.
Waste Management remains a closely watched name given its scale and the defensive characteristics typically associated with essential services businesses. The 30-day gain continues to draw attention even as single-session volatility briefly pushed prices lower.
